*** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Stoke City ***

[paxtonwolf]

Perhaps we might get out of 2nd gear now.

So annoying we think we can just stroll around thinking its over at 1-0

 

[Glenda's Legs]

Can we ever just manage a game without making life more difficult for ourselves?

Dier missed the pass, Sanchez didn’t block the cross Doherty didn’t make his man and Lloris beaten at near post, utter brick all round

 

[Baleforce]

get Lamela on

 

[SpurMeUp]

Horrible sloppy goal to conceed. Alli crap flick, Dier missing the cutout, all lazy tracking back.

 

[Jordinho]

Questions of Doherty there. He's marked space and completely ignored the man.

We looked to be one CB short and Doherty suddenly has to cover two positions.

Sanchez has been our best defender tonight, not saying much, but deserves a pass compared to the rest.

 

[Bishop]

This felt very comfortable but now I'm worried it might go to pens. [emoji24]

 

[paxtonwolf]

It's great to see Dele busting a gut, because I am getting the impression there are a few out there who look like they aren't bothered either way tonight

He doesn't though, they had no one in the middle. He got drawn to the ball and space and the danger was behind him. Questions of Hugo may be fair too, will need to watch it again but the ball came a long way.

 

[DubSpur]

again, you have to ask, where was Hugo, that ball comes in from very wide, no one attacking it centrally, it bobbles across the 6 yard box to a player beyond the far post

He's gone from a good sweeper-keeper to one that never leaves his line

 

[Whiffler]

I'm shouting at the computer, but they're not listening to me. What must Mou be thinking?

Is that a rhetorical question?

Horrible sloppy goal to conceed. Alli crap flick, Dier missing the cutout, all lazy tracking back.

A bit more care from Alli and we would have been in on their goal. A lazy flick later and it's 1-1.

 

[paxtonwolf]

This felt very comfortable but now I'm worried it might go to pens. [emoji24]

Pens??? They fancy this now

If we dont wake up, a shootout might end up being a bonus

 

[Yiddo]

Kane is not even bothering, literally just strolling around.

 

[nayenezgani]

Let Stoke have the ball, we can't make mistakes if they have it. Stoke think the same... The game implodes on itself.

 

[Bullet]

Amazing how we have a curled across along the floor with 3 to aim for and 1 defender, and it goes to the defender.
Yet they have a curled across along the floor with only 1 attacker to aim for and it goes right to his left foot and he stosss it into the goal

 

[AdamB]

Perhaps its lucky Kane stayed on!

Moura has been poor tonight, though as a team we haven't got out of second gear

 

[billyiddo]

What is our style of play exactly when we are expected to be the dominant side? Cos after a year + I'm stumped
